Conor McGregor is the ultimate underdog against Floyd Mayweather... but are any of boxing and UFC's big names giving him a real chance?

Floyd Mayweather's boxing match with Conor McGregor is being billed as the biggest fight in combat sports history but few are giving the UFC star much of a chance against the undefeated boxer.
The pair will throw down in Las Vegas on August 26 and critics have been quick to label the bout nothing more than a 'money grab' with McGregor making his professional in-ring debut against one of the greatest in the history of the sport.
But whilst the majority of experts are viewing the showdown as a forgone conclusion, there are some who are giving the Irishman a chance.
